A weekend in pictures… Pt 1

Okay, so you have to excuse me for the ridiculously image heavy post, but I’ll only turn 21 once 🙂

I was greeted on friday night with a surprise party out my back garden. Scallywags! Haha I was too embarassed to even come around the corner again after the “SURPRISE!” I had no idea that while I was at uni, my mum had taken the day off work and they were all preparing for my party. Made me feel like a wee girl again 🙂

Gorgeous buffet, warm summer evening, pink lanterns, cute wine glasses and ice cold rose, and some of my nearest and dearest ♥ I was truly overwhelmed with this lovely evening. Of course after jumping off the bus I wasn’t exactly dressed for the night so I hid upstairs for 20 minutes and girlied myself up a bit, with a new denim polka dot playsuit from Topshop that I treated myself to on friday during the day! (Btw, I think blogger lied about when I published that last post. My birthday was actually friday… not thursday) And thank you all for the kind birthday wishes, put such a smile on my face! 🙂

Can’t believe they got me a Hello Kitty cake 🙂 And what was pretty close to a firework ontop when they brought it out to me, haha I had no chance of blowing that one out.

Aww, I love you guys :*

Don’t know how he kept this one a secret from me! Love this boy to pieces :]

My favourite girls! 

Jenn, Amy (David’s sis) Erin, Agnes (David’s mum) and of course wee Tyler at the front.

The marquee kept us cosy late into the evening and the we all moved inside. There was so much food and cake – we tried to make sure that everyone had a mega doggy bag on the way out! Me and David were still eating wraps and cupcakes for breakfast on saturday morning. We went shopping and at night I went out for some drinks with a few of the girls, and then on sunday I met my Dad, Gran and Julie and they took me and David for lunch at Paperinos down the west end of Glasgow. One word – yum! I totally pigged out and made my birthday celebrations last the whole weekend. Selfish much? I couldn’t stop crying on saturday morning, poor David had to console me but it wasn’t tears of sadness or anything. I really was just so overwhelmed at the effort David, Jenn, and my family and close friends went to to make my 21st a special one for me. I feel so loved and supported at this crucial time in my life, and I am honestly the happiest I have ever been. But enough of me getting all mushy on ya, here’s some more pictures…

Lovely flowers from my Gran

Cute balloons from Dominique

I got sent this in the post on saturday morning :S My address was printed, and no note of who or where it had came from. Really a mystery… and strange because I’ve been totally needing a new mascara! This Maybelline one is amazing, so thank you to whoever sent it to me 🙂

As you would expect of a girls 21st birthday, I got lots of lovely jewellery…

… and some very cute frames and albums for me to stock up on the nostalgia!

I wont natter on about my pressies too much, I know that would be rather show-offy and boring of me. But my friends and family were very generous, so thank you all a gazillion ♥ I got some pretty normal things including dvd’s, makeup, perfume, hello kitty bits and pieces, money and some tatty devine stuff. One picture I do need to share is of the awesome cupcakes my friend Gemma got me, I’ve never seen anything like this before! (Well, maybe apart from we♥it.com!)

They did taste as good as they looked 🙂 Sesame Street, and pretty much all of Jim Hensons creations have been my fave ever since I was a little girl. Sitting with a cup of tea as I write this, who should be my next victim?

My 21st came at the perfect time, I’m pretty anxious just now about graduating and working and getting to spend some quality time with my friends and family just melted my wee heart. All their cards especially, and kind words of encouragement really reinforced the fact that were not alone on this big scary journey. I am excited about this new chapter of my life, and blogging has became quite an integral part of my day to day routine so I hope you understand why I share these goings on with you, rather than just posting about fashion or beauty. I thought because I’m not as focused and because I don’t do that (and I just normally post about my day to day life) that you all would be a bit bored of me by now. But my readers seem to be on the steady increase which makes me think I’m doing the right thing here 🙂 So thank you all, endlessly, for your encouragement and support ♥ Part two will be up soon, where I’ll be sharing some of the goodies I bought over the weekend and of course giving you all a wee peep of my new tattoos 🙂 back soon!
